This involved continually running modular leadership development programmes year on year for groups of 15 managers at a time.

Arianta International (Aug 2012 – 2014): Paddy delivered a leadership development programme for the CEO, Directors and top 30 regional managers of Aer Rianta International Duty Free.

Irish Aviation Authority (2009 – 2014)

In 2009/2010 Paddy designed and delivered a modular integrated leadership development programme for the directors, managers and staff (70 members) of the Safety Regulatory Division (SRD) of the I.A.A. This programme was facilitated in groups of twelve at a time and each programme spanned 8 days training, broken up into several modules. This was supported by coaching using the Birkman method.

Following a successful implementation of this work he was selected at the start of 2011 to facilitate the Manager Safety Culture Skills development programme for the air traffic control and engineering sections of the IAA. The focus was not on the technical areas of safety but on leadership, attitude and change management. The programme ran for 2.5 years commencing with several coaching sessions for members of the Executive Management Team. This was followed up by one to one coaching and clustered training sessions for 50 senior and middle managers.

Following the completion of this programme Paddy has been contracted on a continual basis as an executive coach within the ATC, Licencing and Engineering sections.
